Svistunov, PRL, 2005) Hamiltonian on the fixed line: Simple perturbative argument: weak interactions are relevant for g0<1 and irrelevant for g0>1 Diagonal disorder is relevant!!! Transformation rule for n: n n j n j 1 Next step in our approach. Consider. n j {0, 1 2} This is a closed subspace under the RG transformation rules. This constraint still preserves particle – hole symmetry.

General story for arbitrary diagonal disorder. 1. The Sf-IN transition is governed by the non-interacting fixed point and it always belongs to KT universality class. 2. Disorder in chemical potential is dangerously irrelevant and does not affect critical properties of the transition as well as the SF phase. 0.25 0.20 f0 n 0.15 0.10 0.05 0.00 0 1 2 3 4 g0 3. Insulating phase strongly depends on the type of disorder. g0~1/Log(1/J) a) Integer filling – incompressible Mott glass b) ½ - integer filling – random singlet insulator with diverging compressibility c) Generic case – Bose glass with finite compressibility Random-singlet insulator Mott glass Bose glass 4. We confirm earlier findings (Fisher et. al. 1989, Giamarchi and Schulz 1988) that there is a direct KT transition from SF to Bose glass in 1D, in particular, L, 1 ~ exp(1 ) 5. In 1D the system restores dynamical symmetry z=1. This talk in a nutshell. Coarse-grain the system n n U ( 2n ) Effective U decreases: U U 2 2 2 2 2 Remaining J decrease, 2 distribution of 2 n becomes wide Two possible scenarios: 1. U flows to zero faster than J: superfluid phase, n does not matter 2. J flows to zero faster than U: insulating phase, distribution of n determines the properties of the insulating phase Critical properties are the same for all possible filling factors!
